b'In \\u201cWhen Jesus Washed Me\\u201d, Rodney shares that one thing every Christian has in common is a personal encounter with Jesus when he washed \\u2013 cleansed away our sin. That day is likely the most glorious day in a Christians life. Jesus loved his disciples to the very end, completely. Even though, he knew one would betray him, another deny him, and the others desert him. How many times have we betrayed, denied, and deserted Jesus? If we are honest, all our lives are littered with betrayal, denial, and desertion. Yet, Jesus still loves us, completely. It was customary for servants to wash the feet of guests upon their arrival, before they sat down to eat. Jesus began doing the unthinkable \\u2013 washing the feet of the disciples. While the disciples recognized what Jesus was doing, taking on the role of a servant, none of the disciples offered themselves for the task. Maybe they thought themselves above having to do a menial task. Maybe they had grown accustomed to walking in close proximity with the Lord that they began to seen him as ordinary. When Peter initially rejected Jesus washing his feet, Jesus said, \\u201cUnless I wash you, you won\\u2019t belong to me.\\u201d That may seem to be excessive. Unless, wash doesn\\u2019t just mean, \\u201cwash your feet\\u201d. When you learn the meaning of what Jesus did in John 13, it will be one of the most glorious days of your Christian journey and experience.'
